Update on the Inspector’s inquiry into the National Anti-Corruption Commission’s decision not to investigate the referrals from the Robodebt Royal Commission

The Inspector has received many inquiries as to the progress of her inquiry from the media and the public.

The Inspector is conducting an investigation under section 184(1)(e) of the National Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2022 into the decision by the National Anti-Corruption Commission not to investigate the referrals from the Robodebt Royal Commission. 

Between June and August 2024, the National Anti-Corruption Commission provided the Inspector with documents the Inspector had requested. On 3 September 2024, the Inspector asked the National Anti-Corruption Commission to provide submissions on a range of specified matters.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission has advised that it anticipates that it will provide those submissions by 21 October 2024.

When the Inspector completes her investigation she will prepare a report as provided for in Part 10, Division 4, Subdivision B of the National Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2022.
